【正文】 因為我退學了, 沒有受到正規(guī)的訓練, 所以我決定去參加這個課程，去學學怎樣寫出漂亮的美術(shù)字。讓我給你們舉一個例子吧：Reed大學在那時提供也許是全美最好的美術(shù)字課程。但是我喜歡這樣。但是這并不是那么羅曼蒂克。在我做出退學決定的那一刻, 我終于可以不必去讀那些令我提不起絲毫興趣的課程了。所以我決定要退學,我覺得這是個正確的決定。我不知道我想要在生命中做什么,我也不知道大學能幫助我找到怎樣的答案。但是我很愚蠢的選擇了一個幾乎和你們斯坦福大學一樣貴的學校, 我父母還處于藍領(lǐng)階層，他們幾乎把所有積蓄都花在了我的學費上面。只是在幾個月以后,我的父母答應她一定要讓我上大學,那個時候她才同意。所以我的生養(yǎng)父母（他們還在我親生父母的觀察名單上）突然在半夜接到了一個電話:“我們現(xiàn)在這兒有一個不小心生出來的男嬰,你們想要他嗎？”他們回答道:“當然！”但是我親生母親隨后發(fā)現(xiàn)，我的養(yǎng)母從來沒有上過大學,我的父親甚至從沒有讀過高中。所以在我出生的時候，她已經(jīng)做好了一切的準備工作，能使得我被一個律師和他的妻子所收養(yǎng)。我的親生母親是一個年輕的,沒有結(jié)婚的大學畢業(yè)生。我在Reed大學讀了六個月之后就退學了,但是在十八個月以后——我真正的作出退學決定之前,我還經(jīng)常去學校。不是什么大不了的事情,只是三個故事而已。說實話,今天也許是在我的生命中離大學畢業(yè)最近的一天了。我今天很榮幸能和你們一起參加畢業(yè)典禮，斯坦福大學是世界上最好的大學之一。 Jobs saysJobs說，你必須要找到你所愛的東西。thank you all very much非常感謝你們!第三篇：喬布斯2005年斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮演講稿喬布斯2005年斯坦福大學畢業(yè)典禮演講稿You39?！蔽铱偸窍Ｍ约耗軌蚰菢??！边@是他們停刊的告別語。那是在七十年代的中期，我正好是你們這個的年紀。它有點像用軟皮包裝的google，它比google早三十五年出現(xiàn)，它是理想主義的，其中包含了許多靈巧的工具和偉大的見解。它是由一位叫stewart brand的家伙在離這里不遠的門羅帕克主刊的，他神奇般地將這本書帶到了這個世界。所有其他的事情都是次要的。不要被其他人喧囂的觀點掩蓋你真正的內(nèi)心的聲音。your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s ’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s ’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner most important, have the courage to follow your heart and somehow already know what you truly want to else is ，所以不要把時間浪費在重復其他人的生活上?，F(xiàn)在你們是新生的，但終有一天，你們將逐漸變老，直至謝幕。這也本該如此，因為“死亡”很可能就是“生命”中最杰出的發(fā)明。以前我只把死亡看作是個概念，但經(jīng)歷此事后，我可以更肯定地對你們說：no one wants to people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get yet death is the destination we all one has ever escaped that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of is life’s change clears out the old to make way for the now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually bee the old and be cleared to be so dramatic, but it is quite ，即便人們想上天堂，也是想活著去那里。我做了這個手術(shù)，現(xiàn)在我痊愈了。我當時打了麻醉/藥，不醒人事，但是我的妻子一直在那里。i lived with that diagnosis all that evening i had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with had the surgery and i’m fine 。這也就是說，我要把事情安排妥當，讓你的家人會盡可能輕松的生活。我的醫(yī)生建議我回家打理后事，這是醫(yī)生對臨終病人的標準程序。我當時甚至都不知道胰腺是什么東西。about a year ago i was diagnosed with had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my didn’t even know what a pancreas doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that i should expect to live no longer than three to six doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor’s code for prepare to means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you’d have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your means to say your ，我被診斷出癌癥。謹記我隨時死去，這是我所知道的，來避開將要失去的一些東西的陷阱的最好方法。remembering that i’ll be dead soon is the most important tool i’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly that you are going to die is the best way i know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to are already is no reason not to follow your ，這是我一生中遇到的最有幫助的工具，它幫我做出了生命中重要的抉擇?！边@句話我印象頗深。my third story is about 。而且，這和其他任何事情一樣，隨著歲月流逝，它會越來越好。如果你還沒有找到，那么你要繼續(xù)尋找，不要半途而廢。你的工作將會占據(jù)你的大部分生活時間，你惟一獲得成就感方法就是相信你從事工作是高尚的。你必須去找到你所鐘愛的東西。但你不要失去信仰。雖然這劑良藥的味道非?？酀?，但我這個病人需要它。而且，我還和laurence共同建立了一個幸福完美的家庭。在隨后一系列運作中，蘋果收購了next，我重返蘋果。during the next five years, i started a pany named next, another pany named pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would bee my went on to create the worlds first puter animated feature film, toy story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the a remarkable turn of events, apple bought next, i returned to apple, and the technology we developed at next is at the heart of apple’s current laurene and i have a wonderful family ，我創(chuàng)立了一個名叫next的公司，還有一個叫pixar的公司，還有和一位魅力女士相識并相愛，她后來成為我的妻子。因為，作為一個創(chuàng)業(yè)者的輕松感覺重新替代作為一個成功者的負重感，不要把每件事情都看得那么重。所以我決定從頭再來。在蘋果發(fā)生的**，并沒有絲毫改變這一點。在公眾面前，我是個失敗者，我甚至想過逃離硅谷。我覺得我很令上一代的企業(yè)家們很失望，因為我把他們交給我的接力棒弄丟了。曾經(jīng)是我整個生命的中心已經(jīng)不再有了，這讓我不知所措。所以在三十歲的時候，我被炒魷魚了。但是后來我們對公司未來的看法有了分歧，最終我們吵了起來。后來，我被炒魷魚了。在公司成立的第九年，我們剛剛發(fā)布了最好的產(chǎn)品——macintosh。我在二十歲的時候，沃茲和我在父母的車庫里面開創(chuàng)了蘋果公司。my second story is about love and 。你必須要相信某些東西：直覺、命運、生命、因緣等等。你只能在回顧的時候把它們串連起來。again, you can’t connect the dots looking forward。當然了，我在學校的時候不可能把這些點點滴滴提前串連起來。如果windows沒有抄襲mac，個人電腦很可能就不會這么多字體。那是擁有漂亮字體的第一臺計算機。但十年之后，當我們在設(shè)計第一臺macintosh計算機的時候，就全部派上用場。那種美感、真實感和藝術(shù)感，是科學永遠不能捕捉到的，(我發(fā)現(xiàn))那實在是太迷人了。因為我退學了，沒有了正常的課程，所以我決定去上/書法課，去學學怎樣寫出漂亮的字。我給你們舉一個例子吧：reed college at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand i had dropped out and didn’t have to take the normal classes, i decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter binations, about what makes great typography was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and i found it ，里德學院的書法課程也許是全美最好的。我喜歡那里的飯菜。為了填飽肚子，我撿過值5美分的可樂罐。it wasn’t all didn’t have a dorm room, so i slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, i returned coke bottles for the 5￠ deposits to buy food with, and i would walk the 7 miles across town every sunday night to get one good meal a week at the hare krishna loved much of what i stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later me give you one example:這一點也不羅曼蒂克。(不可否認)，我當時非常害怕，但現(xiàn)在回頭來看，這個決定是我一生中最明智決定之一。但在學校，我將花光我父母這一輩子的積蓄。六個月后，我?guī)缀蹩床坏皆趯W校的價值。and 17 years later i did go to i naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as
